I went on youtube and watched both Barbosu and Chiles' programs.

Barbosu did a better job and should have the Bronze.

Chiles is making an ass of herself and should just admit she was not that good.

In the future our team needs to care less about DEI athletes and more about girls who can beat the Russians and Romanians in Gymnastics.

AI Overview

Gymnastics is considered a subjective sport because judges evaluate routines based on their own preferences and styles, rather than objective measures like time or distance. While judges try to be impartial, no one is 100% objective. For example, judges might look for things that aren't immediately obvious to the gymnast or their parents. Some say that this subjectivity is a major source of controversy and can lead to athletes feeling stressed and pressured.

This is anti-American bias plain and simple. If Chiles was from another country she would have the bronze right now. I don’t know why so many creepers refuse to support someone from their own country?

Silly me, I thought the Olympics was supposed to be about sportsmanship goodwill and camaraderie, not who has the best lawyer.

I don’t know much about the scoring, but they said it was a degree of difficulty thing that was missed?

I watched them. Chiles’ was not as good. If these gymnasts are going to put all of these “elements” in them and claim their difficulty, they need to be able to complete them in an artistic and smooth fashion.

Both gymnasts got screwed over first by the judges and then by the sport’s governing committee.

I’d like to hear if the judges have any sanctions on them for their mistake(s). Doubt it.

They should settle this the honorable way, pistols at 10 paces.
